Would FPS's be where they're at without Goldeneye? It's such a classic. But if you're comparing them NOW, well I think we know which is better, Halo.

I really enjoyed Goldeneye but Halo IMO is a much better game

Get the hell out of here, you retarded jackass! We all KNOW what the best FPS of all time is (until Halo 2 is released). Get out and close your account with '.NET'

Goldeneye didn't spark my interest as much as halo did (at its prime). Besides, Halo is still running strong. I still play it all the time and its still very fun.

Seriously....Goldeneye is a great classic and is one of the first FPS's and pretty much started off the FPS's....But halo is much better....better story line...better guns...better logic(meaning that you can only hold 2 guns where as in Goldeneyeyou can hold 50 thousand guns....) and I looooooooove Halo so....yeah Halo's a much better game....

Goldeneye is let down by inconsistencies in continuity (I'm sure I had a grenade launcher when I got into that lift, where did I put it?), and the limitations of the N64 controller.

Plus the game style is markedly different to Halo, GE is a mission objective based game, much of the challenge and fun comes in exploring the level in order to figure out the best way of completing set objectives, whereas Halo is action based, the fun comes from surviving each encounter, and the objectives are never more complex than 'go here'.

It's difficult to compare the two in singleplayer, as the only thing they really share is their perspective. In multiplayer, Halo takes it easily, because of the Goldeneye control limitations, and because its weapon balance is infinitely superior

If you want a sucessor to Goldeneye as an objective based FPS, look to Timesplitters 2 (which is probably the best fun you can have with a console FPS in multiplayer, and as all those mad challenges to do).

We'll see what EA can come up with for Goldeneye 2.

Other than, say, Doom, and Quake, and Wolfenstein 3D, and Unreal, and on, and on, and on.....

the first 'real' FPS (gun locked to camera centre, straight up action play, rather than shooting gallery or adventure style) was Wolfenstein 3D. Five years before Goldeneye.

Sorry if i slammed goldeneye for those few out there in the forums. I will admit it was great for its time and really set the standards for a good fps, but think about it. Better story, better guns, more realism, batter ai, better graphics (i realize there is a period of time between these games). I just think the answer is simple. DUH!

Well, I was reading all the replies, and didn't even feel like responding, but I need something to do. As an answer to the thread topic... Halo all the way! There is now way that GoldenEye is better... BUt yes, GoldenEye set the standard for FPS games, no matter how many came before it. Im sorry to say ((and I know ppl are gonna laugh)) But I still play GE to this very day. You can always take someone in there and give them a good swift kick in the arse. But I only do this to remember the classics... you can't really compare GoldenEye to Halo: CE In this way.

Edit. "All your base are belong to us" I have no clue why I put this in there, but oh well"

Since goldeneye seems to really lose in this somewhat poll, what about if you compare Halo to Half-life. Remember to consider how Half-life was at its time. not how it is now. before you say anything just think like a true gamer and decide, not just say halo becuase thats the game you own and your dumb.(not saying you are)

i would have to say...Halo, i just like the feel halo gives you, and the power of MC and the guns.

I don't think it's even a comparison. I only played GE a level or two and a bit in MP, but I had always heard it was so popular because of it's controls and how good it's MP was. It was these two things that made it set new standards for console FPS's, which I don't recall having done very good before GE (console FPS's not FPS's in general). Halo has raised those standards by adding a great storyline with a lot of depth, adding vehicles that are actually fun to drive, boasting the best graphics, which still compete with new games 2 years later, awesome controls, system link as well as 4 split screen MP, having co-op in campaign mode, and probably many other things I can't think of. Yeah for it's time GE was popular and pretty cool, but in no way does it even compete with Halo.

Goldeneye may be the reason we have FFS, and it gets points for being a classic, but overall, Halo owns it
